1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This paper develops a unified statistical inference framework for high-dimensional binary generalized linear models (GLMs) with general link functions. Both unknown and known design distribution settings are considered. A two-step weighted bias-correction method is proposed for constructing confidence intervals and simultaneous hypothesis tests for individual components of the regression vector. Minimax lower bound for the expected length is established and the proposed confidence intervals are shown to be rate-optimal up to a logarithmic factor. The numerical performance of the proposed procedure is demonstrated through simulation studies and an analysis of a single cell RNA-seq data set, which yields interesting biological insights that integrate well into the current literature on the cellular immune response mechanisms as characterized by single-cell transcriptomics. The theoretical analysis provides important insights on the adaptivity of optimal confidence intervals with respect to the sparsity of the regression vector. New lower bound techniques are introduced and they can be of independent interest to solve other inference problems in high-dimensional binary GLMs.
